Big Mama is made up of two parts: There’s the free VPN app, which is available on the Google Play store for Android devices and has been downloaded more than 1 million times. Then there’s the Big Mama Proxy Network, which allows people (among other options) to buy shared access to “real” 4G and home Wi-Fi IP addresses for as little as 40 cents for 24 hours.
I am surprised this is legal. I have zero knowledge of the nuances of law, but there is no situation where allowing a completely random 3rd party to use your IP/network on an on-demand basis is legitimate. This is not a “grey area” (in the real sense, not in the judicial sense).

I mean, this is kind of the entire concept of Tor.
But Tor is explicitly designed for this sort of thing and does not have a paid access system.
Nowhere on Big Mama VPN’s landing page does it say that by using their service you open your network to access by randoms.
Sounds like malware.
may be a grey area technically or legally, but very sketchy as a user.
no thank you sir, I don’t like it.
